Christ in a Palestinian Context, 2

Sunday of the Passion/Palm Sunday
Week of March 29, 2009
Mark 14.1-15.47

Continue today with the reading of the passion narrative. This painting is from "Christ in a Palestinian Context," an exhibit by Palestinian artists during the months-long curfew in Bethlehem in 2002-2003 (see story below). It is described in "Bethlehem Besieged," by Mitri Raheb, pastor of the Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem. (see April 2 post below for more) This painting is by Nabil Anani.


O God, your cross shows us your way of love and mercy. Help us, your children, to be your cross-bearers, bringing your message of reconciliation to those who suffer. Give us courage and patience for our work as we wait for your promised reign. Amen.
